What Singapore GP can teach other F1 races

Liberty has big plans for how future grands prix should be organised and promoted, but Singapore has been blazing a trail for many of those ideas for years - as JAMES ALLEN explains

The more you look at the way Formula 1 is developing, especially the way that the owners Liberty Media approach race promotion, the more you realise what a great job the Singapore Grand Prix organisers have done over the past decade.

In many ways they are the pioneers of the new F1 race experience - not only by hosting the first night race, but by introducing so many elements that make going to an F1 race a true 'experience'. They have combined motorsport and music; not just a single well-known band, but essentially a mini music festival every year, as well as layers of other entertainment, food and other activities.
